A&P Mechanic Jobs

A&P mechanics, who make up a large portion of mechanics for civilian aircraft, are combination airframe-and-power plant mechanics that work on all parts of the aircraft except the instruments. With expected job growth and fewer students entering the trade, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an increasingly favorable situation for job opportunities for A&P mechanics. The best job opportunities are expected at regional and low-cost carriers, as tougher competition exists at the major airlines.
